Nanotechnology Education

Interdisciplinary Education Group (IEG)
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) uses examples of nanotechnology and advanced materials to explore science and engineering concepts at the college level and brings the "wow" and potential of nanotechnology and advanced materials to the public.

Internships in Public Science Education (IPSE)
MRSEC has teamed up with Milwaukee-based Discovery World, Wisconsin's largest science center, to connect audiences of all ages with world-class science expertise and cutting-edge research that might not otherwise be available to them. Graduate and undergraduate interns design hands-on, minds-on activities and tabletop demonstrations to explain cutting-edge nanotechnology using basic science concepts.

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
The objective of this summer research program is to provide targeted student populations with opportunities to test their interest in science and engineering careers. Participating students conduct their own eight-week research project from June to August under the direction of the College of Engineering faculty members and work as members of laboratory research teams investigating problems in engineering and physical sciences in a well recognized academic environment.

Research Experience for Teachers (RET)
The RET program is funded by the a National Science Foundation. It provides a professional development opportunity to K-12 science teachers by placing them in a research laboratory during the summer. The program that has been established focuses on materials science and science at the nanoscale, the scale of atoms.

Nanotechnology Research

Materials Research Science and Engineering Center
MRSEC was established by the National Science Foundation to carry out research in the formation, characterization, and exploitation of materials at the nanoscale - the scale of individual atoms. It focuses on the fundamental understanding of topics of substantial technological importance and the communication of this understanding to the public.

The research is carried out by interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs) on a rolling horizon basis and smaller seed groups on a limited-term (2 - 3 year) basis.
